Panthers veteran Brad Marchand, playing in his fourth career Stanley Cup Final, issued an eye-opening admission before Game 5.

The Florida Panthers look well on their way to a second consecutive Stanley Cup after a dominant 6-1 Game 3 win over the Edmonton Oilers that was marred by a wild brawl late in the contest.

Three of the Stanley Cup Final’s first four games going to overtime is a testament to the quality of play and competition between the Panthers and Oilers heading into Game 5.
